I'm wearing my new earrings.......a long dangle type........

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I don't usually wear this kind.......

Tell me what you think!

How do they look........to your eyes?




Edited to add, per Redstone's request, a closer view:

[Left Is Write]

1. They look very pretty.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear Left Is Write!

I'm glad you think so!

Thanks......:hug:

[Haole Girl]

2. Looking good Peggy!

I love dangling earrings (hey, I didn't know earrings was spelled with 2 r's!). You are lucky your neck is long enough to wear them (unlike my short neck)! Your smile is the best thing you wear, though! :hug: :loveya: :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear KC2!

Awwww...thanks!

Glad you approve......I have so little real fashion sense!

Normally I wear studs........but I love these!

And I appreciate what you say about my smile.....I've heard this one before, but it never gets old......

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[GOPisEvil]

5. Very eye-catching!

:thumbsup:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear GOPisEvil!

Thanks! And ........sorry about the mix-up.........

Glad you like these!

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

7. I like 'em!

I have a couple of pairs of dangly earrings too, and I love them. :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear SeattleGirl!

Oooh, thanks!

Glad you do........I haven't worn these much.......

Maybe I'll start wearing them more! :bounce: :bounce:


:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Fleshdancer]

8. such beautiful earings

You should wear dangle earings more CaliforniaPeggy. They're very flattering on you. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear GloriaSmith!

Wow, thanks!

Really? More flattering? If you say so! I kinda like them too...

:hug:

[Redstone]

11. Can't see them all that well; have your husband take a closer

picture, OK?

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear Redstone!

I could do that.........

He's around here someplace!

They are a sterling filigree style.......

:hi:

[Redstone]

15. You do know that I used to make jewelry, yes? I'll give you

an honest opinion.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Yes, I do remember your saying that......

You commented on my lost wax rings......

I was going to have my husband take a close-up pic..........

Unfortunately, he is napping at the moment!

It'll have to be later......but I will do it....

[pitohui]

12. they look terrific

also, and i seem to be the only person who has noticed or who believes this, but in my humble experience the dangly earrings are much much more comfortable and much much less likely to fall out and be lost than the post-type earrings

i have almost completely converted to the dangles

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear pitohui..........

I thank you!

I like earrings that have the French wires, and dangly ones have those more often than the posts.....

Normally I don't like my jewelry moving on me......but this time I kinda like it!

:hi:

[Guava Jelly]

17. Nice ear rings cal Peg

And you look smashing in them

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear GoPsUx!

A man of his word, indeed!

Thanks, sweetie!

Glad you came by tonight.......:hug:

[Ptah]

19. They look like nice silver.

I like them and your smile!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear Ptah.........

And indeed they are sterling......

I bought them Tuesday at the Coldwater Creek store when I had lunch with KitchenWitch.......

Glad you like them.......and my smile!

I'll bring them to the meetup, OK?

Thanks, sweetie.........:hug:

[blonndee]

20. I love them! Very pretty.

The silver is lovely, and I love the pretty scrolly design. In fact, I have a pair almost just like them, except the inside part itself dangles and isn't attached at the side and bottom.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. My dear blonndee!

How nice of you to say so!

I especially like the scrolly part.....

Yours sound very cool too!


:hi:

[joneschick]

21. filigree is always pretty. They look great on you.

Filigree is so lacy and feminine, downright sexy. You go girl! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. My dear joneschick!

You'll make me blush, sweetie!

I thank you........:blush:

[u4ic]

24. They are lovely, Peggy

as are you! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear u4ic!

Mmmm.....how sweet of you!

Thank you so much......:pals:

[haf216]

27. Very nice!

They look good on you and look like your style.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. My dear haf216!

I thank you!

It's funny, but I don't often wear dangly earrings.....

But perhaps I will do it more......in the future.......


:hi:

[MrScorpio]

28. They're lovely, Peggy Love

Getting all sexy on us, I see

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. My dear MrScorpio........

Me? Sexy?

Isn't sexy in the eye of the beholder?

Thank you for saying that.....and for admiring my new earrings too......

:loveya: :hug:

[barb162]

31. They are very nice; they look filigreed from here

Hi Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear barb162!

And indeed they are filigreed......

I thank you for your kind remarks, and for coming by tonight!

:hi: back atcha!

:hug:

[SoyCat]

33. I like them a lot and they look nice on you. I'm quite partial to long

earrings.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. My dear SoyCat!

I appreciate your very kind remarks!

I'm still getting used to them......

Having my jewelry move on me is new to me.......

But I do like how they look!

:hi:

[SoyCat]

35. You'll get used to it; don't worry. Sometimes its actually kinda nice to

be able to actually feel them and know I haven't somehow lost one!

[OzarkDem]

36. I like them, they're beautiful

and very flattering to your face. Good choice.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. My dear OzarkDem............

Wow, how you flatter me!

I thank you..........

They are a considerable departure from my normal earrings.......

:hi:

[OzarkDem]

38. It's a nice change

I may try some of that style myself.

[mad-mommy]

39. they look elegant, and they suit you

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. My dear mad-mommy!

Well, thank you so much!

Thanks for coming by tonight........:hug:

[mad-mommy]

42. I'm slowly working my way back to things

[liberaltrucker]

40. NICE!

Bunny thinks they'd look good on me! hehe.
:rofl:

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. My dear liberaltrucker!

Sweetie! I was just thinking of you today, and wondering how in heck are you!

They'd look good on you?

LOL! :rofl:

Thanks for the nice compliments......and hi to Bunny! :hug:

[idgiehkt]

44. very nice

but my first thought was that they remind me of a scene from the movie Beloved where Thandie Newton says to Oprah "where you di-ah-monds?" Very rough movie, about slavery, don't know if I recommend it or not...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. My dear idgiehkt!

Thanks!

I think I did see that movie......but it was years ago........

And I might be mixing it up with something else.........

:hi:

[Redstone]

46. Now I can see them a little better (even though it's not exactly the

close-up picture I was looking for, so I could see a little bit of DETAIL, just out of professional interest, you know, not that I'm objecting to seeing your face in the picture; I wouldn't want you to think that, but filigree is a very detail-rich form of metalworking and I can't see any DETAILS, not that I'd be repeating, or especially, repeatedly repeating AND capitalizing any specific word, because that would mean I was getting either obsessive or sounding like I was shouting which of course I'm not, given that I'm typing, and quietly at that, because I'm not the kind of guy would would turn on the fake "typewriter" sounds that my computer would be only too happy to provide me...I heard enough (though it was self-generated) typewriter clacking back in the old days when my primary object of lust was an IBM Selectric (and no, I never ended up owning one, so I do indeed know how it feels to be deprived and unfulfilled, thank you very much) and the whirring of the electric motor of my cheap Smith-Corona would get to be hypnotic at about 3:30 AM and I'd find myself racked out with my face on the damn thing only a few hours later, but still the next morning after all, and do you have ANY idea how long it takes to get those typewriter-key dents out of your face after dozing on them, ESPECIALLY when that cute redhead I met last week at the medical lab charmed the hell out of her so she promised to come over today is due to shoe up for her promised visit to you in about 24 minutes, this being back in 1981, so it's utterly irrelevant now, but I just happened to think about it because I guess it's that kind of evening (not a bad one, so don't worry), just one of those that become random?

I bet you don't.

But the earrings are nice anyway. And that's the opinion of a former pro.

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. LOL! My dear Redstone!

You are too funny!

But you sure as heck kept your promise!

Glad you like the earrings...........and...thank you........

Your stream-of-consciousness puts most people's to shame, yes indeed to shame, and I know what I'm talking about since I do it too, don't you know, I'm sure you do, since we're kindred spirits, I mean absolutely you're the BEST, the goddam best, the top of the heap, one in a million, and all that!

I also think that you should be writing again, along the lines of what you told me earlier.......



:woohoo: :woohoo:

[Redstone]

49. Yes, I should. I'm not real big on pointless regrets, but I would,

if I had the opportunity, go back and do two things:

1) Concentrate on writing as a career, rather than doing is a peripheral thing; and

2) Beg, plead, whine and moan to get my parents to take the piano with us (instead of donating it to the town) when we moved away from Vermont. I was just starting to make Mrs Harkelrode (the best music teacher EVER, and I've stayed in touch with her ever since) approve of my progress.

But I can't do those things. And just as well; if I had done so, my chances of meeting Mrs R would have been that much the less (and they were damned unlikely enough as it is).

Everything works out the way it's supposed to, yes?

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

53. My dear Redstone..........

I do believe things work out the way they're supposed to......yes.

[NewWaveChick1981]

48. Those are great, CP!

:hi: :bounce: :woohoo: I LOVE dangly earrings, and those are so cute! :toast: You should wear dangly earrings all the time!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

54. My dear NewWaveChick1981!

OH, thank you, sweetie!

Wow, your enthusiasm is infectious!

I'm wearing studs today, and I must admit that early on, I was missing the motion I felt yesterday with those.....

You are a sweetheart! :loveya: :hug:

[wildhorses]

50. I LOVE THEM....they make your eyes SPARKLE

even more SO!! :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

56. My dear wildhorses!

You know, of all the people here who I haven't had the privilege of meeting yet......

You top the list!

Someday, we must meet, OK?

You have such a special soul.......you're truly a kindred spirit to mine!

I love you.......

And thank you for all those compliments!

:loveya: :hug:

[wildhorses]

60. awww....I love you, too CalPeg. You were nice to me from the

very start and I will never forget that. :loveya:
